Ali Caldwell is ready to start her sophomore year of high school. After last year, she vows that this year is going to be uneventful, and most importantly, private. She has the best of intentions. She's going to stay off TV, keep out of trouble and let nothing interfere with her school work.

Then the new girl shows up.

Samantha is a transfer student who claims she and Ali have the same father, and she wants Ali's life. Ali, in an attempt to keep Samantha from ruining her dad's fledgling Senate campaign, allows herself to be blackmailed to keep the information secret.

Can Ali find out the truth and get her life back, while keeping her personal vow to stay out of the media this year?
